What’s Going to Be Good: CHO Funky Asian Bistro

Miami Beach is changing. Not slowly, fast. The center of gravity is shifting, and you can feel where the new center is forming.

It’s happening between Sunset Harbor and West Avenue. What was once a pass-through is becoming where everyone is moving toward. The money is arriving. The attention is arriving.

And right in the center of it is where Mo Alkassar decided to build CHO.

Great operators don’t follow the crowd. They plant their flag where the neighborhood is going.

CHO is Mo’s moment.

This city has great food. But great, authentic Asian food with best-in-class hospitality has never been South Beach’s strength.

That is what CHO is swinging for.

Hamachi Mulhoe. Khao Soi Lamb Neck. Wagyu Zabuton next to a $14 Eggplant Lumpia.

We had a preview. Here’s what matters.

The Scallop Crudo might be the best dish we’ve had in 2026.

The Khao Soi Lamb Neck is the kind of bowl you order twice.

The Duck Fried Rice is perfect without trying.

The drinks hit too. Same direction as the kitchen. That’s rare.

South Beach has been waiting for this restaurant for a long time.

Now it knows the address.
